I need a new rear and like the stuffed look..what's the biggest size anyone runs w/ the stock set up
 
Google is your friend.

google.com > in the search field type in buellxb.com and what you are searching for = results.

200mm

:)
 
Onelogue runs a 240 I believe on his bolt, hes got the chain also, I believe its a whole kit, runs about 2600 I think.
 
Thanks and y doesn't the search thing on here work that good..

Most forums that I use have a horrible search engine, I am use to using google to search.
 
Here's mine. 240 is the biggest size you can big in an XB swing arm, but like mentioned above I had to do a chain conversion and use spaces on both sprockets and rear set. Its a lot of work and it hurts performance. I Love the look though.
Stick with 200 if you dont want to widen your wheel and use belt drive.

Why is everyone so quick to doubt each other? I didn't make a typing error. The 200/55R17 has a taller profile and is more rounded. It's the biggest I've seen in the stock setup. I'm running the Dunlop D205 in that size on my bike right now.

Not stock setup you removed the hugger. :p

55 looks to have way too much sidewall.
 
Just because I took it off doesnt mean it wont fit. I don't like the rear hugger or the belt guards for that matter. Maybe someone will post their largest with all them on.
 
Heres mine 200/50 R17 with the lower belt guard, had the top one off b/c i was installing a custom plate mount

Ya I ended up just going w/ a 190 55 17cuz I wanted to use the pilot power 2 the belt side rubs on something in the swing arm but by the time I saw it.it was wore off enough...

It fills a little more I guess..I'm just not sure if I like how the tire feels when I'm carvin. It feels kind of spongy when you first set in
 
i have a 190/50/17 now thinking of going 190/55 on my next tire would love a 200 but most guys ive talked to said they will prob go back to a 190.
 
whats the narrowest tire we can run? im waiting for this trent to hit the stretched out sportbike crowd if it hasnt yet.

With stock set-up like mentioned in your FIRST post then there is only one size. You know stock set-up? Once you deviate from that then it isnt stock set-up anymore now is it?

so my answer is correct 180/55/17
